US own a nuclear weapon right, so why try stop other countries from owning one?..... is it not this same US that attacked IRAQ with the false claim of a nuclear weapon. FYI, the US killed that guy without no clear intel, the guy wasn't planning no attack whatsoever. Congress was briefed few days ago and both republicans and democrats came out to say the administration did not have nothing on the guy that was killed but the administration kept lying there was an imminent attack. Now trump has changed his story and claiming without evidence that the guy was planning to attack 4 US embassies.

what's the big deal here?. Same happened when mini war started btw Russia and Ukraine and Western powers backed Ukraine. In the process, Ukraine passenger aircraft was hit by missile accidentally and Russia eventually claimed responsibility. It was accident and families were compensated.

This just happened 3 to 5yrs ago. It is not a yardstick to start blaming Ayatollah, Iran or whatever. All they need to do is compensate the families. Remember there were more Iranians in the flight as well. So NL "war analysts" shouldn't start using this avenue to support attacks on Iran.

I see say you just passed your JAMB result so i won't trade insults with a kid like you, hiding behind your keyboard to type trash. They struck the US base in Iraq and was expecting the US to strike back, their radar picked the jet in their airspace and because they didn't want to take no chance, they shot it down.

Now let me address the lack of intelligence you talked about, no nation or country is perfect when it comes to intelligence, even the US you are supporting is not perfect on this. Just two days ago, the US killed over 60 civilians while targeting a local taliban leader, what do you have to say about that?, perfect intel right?. here's a link to that.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/strike-targeting-taliban-commander-civilian-casualties-200109165736421.html

Just last year too, over 47 civilians were killed in Afghanistan attending a wedding ceremony and another 20 in Yemen also attending a wedding, the US mistakenly took them for a terrorist gathering. So my question again is was that a perfect intel too?..... MUGU
echelons:


You're actually very stupid. You left Iran that lacked intelligence and shot down commercial airliners from its own territory, and has majority people of Iranian origin, and blame US that took out a known terrorist who has been masquerading himself as an army General but committing series of terror activities.
The very reason Trump swore Iran would never be allowed to have nuclear capacity, because they will eventually mistakenly send some to your father's house.

Re: Iran Says It ‘unintentionally’ Shot Down Ukrainian Jetliner by gr8keeng: 2:48pm On Jan 11, 2020
That is not right, why will they shoot down a plane where majority of them is their citizens. Don't forget that there was no single American on that flight and majority of the canadians on that plane are still Iranians. over 95% of them are of Iran descents. So they really had more to lose shooting down the plane. Even trump said he believed it was a mistake.
Openbusiness:

Not true! They knew it was a civilian airline. They shot it down intentionally as part of their revenge to kill Western people for their terrorist general's death. Unfortunately they didn't know 95% of the people on board were Iranians. They thought, oh this Ukrainian airplane must be carrying Europeans.

Be telling stories. US congress is playing games on you. You think u can understand them with your own level. US killed one man, iran killed over 200.can u imagine. Reasons you should agree with US fighting against them handling nuclear weapons. Yes they nevee own nukes, but ordinary misiles, they miss manage it by killing innocent souls. Wht if they own a nuclear weapon what do u think will happen.
On why is US having nucleus weapons. Go and read history on international conflicts. US has produced nuclear weapons before the United nations placed ban on weapons of mass destruction. So why will a country of such, will want to produce nuclear weapons in this century when better things are there to do.

The US government already knew this because they had satellite cover over Iraq and Iran all throughout the period. They shot it down INTENTIONALLY, you have to be super naive to believe it was a mistake. They knew it was an Ukrainian airline, so the idiots thought, Oh it must he Westerners trying to flee Iran to avoid being stuck in the terrorist country before it develops to having a full blown crisis with America. These wicked terrorists were so stupid and full of wickedness they didn't even bother to check the flight manifest. They just shot it down thinking it was people from Western countries they were killing. See the picture below? Can you see the holes are pointing inside? Which proves it was an external force hit. If it was internal, the hole would be pointing outwards. That's a missile shrapnel tearing into plane during impact. That's why they rushed to the crash site to find the black box and they were hiding the black box to cover the truth. But unfortunately, America already had satellite evidence they fired the missiles that crashed the plane. And unfortunately for them 95% of the people on that plane were Iranians.

With all d US military sophistication and technology, y couldn't it kill d Taliban commander without killing an extra 60 innocent lives?

Like I said, am not debating whether d US is stronger than Iran militarily. U are itching for that debate and am not interested in it. D topic is about human lives not about who is stronger or about who is weaker
. pls stop arguing with fools. imagine him trying to sweep the 1988 iranian plane tragedy under the carpet saying that was 1988". wether 1988 or 2088, human lives shouldn't be toyed with.

Re: Iran Says It ‘unintentionally’ Shot Down Ukrainian Jetliner by 12inchess: 3:18pm On Jan 11, 2020
I believe this aircraft was shot down on purpose by Iran as retaliation to western influence. Their president made a statement to trump about this that those that throw around numbers like 52 shouldn't forget the number 290 which was the number of people killed during u. s firing on a civilian plane carrying Iranians about 20 years ago. In short their govt is willing to waste the life of Iranian Americans, Iranian canadians, Iranian brits etc as revenge and even Iranians and take it as collateral damage. They are just telling America and the west that we may not be able to hurt you in your homeland but we can certainly hurt you here. All the shout about unintentional is just to de-escalate.

you missed the point. Point is, people are killed everyday in the middle East for many reasons relate to foreign presence. Example was article posted here yesterday that foreign troops in Afghanistan accidentally killed 60 Afghans. But your (Iran critics) reaction was different compared Iran mistakenly shot at civilian aircraft. This is why I said you guys are bunch of hypocrites bcuz you sympathize with civilians where and when it suits you.

Yea, you are partially right, they should have shot down their airspace but in a situation where the airspace wasn't shot and their radar picked up something that looked like a fighter jet in a heightened period, their best bet was to shot it down.... even the US with their precise technology once mistook a wedding ceremony for a terrorist gathering and killed over 200 people in Syria last year but you people kept people because it's the US.... just yesterday, the US killed over 40 civilians while trying to target terrorists, are those not human too?.


I saw that US own on NairaLand , I have got full details of it in my favourite Al Jazeera, BUT NO LIFE LOST IS WORTH IT ...I still remember the incident that opens the eyes of the world that US has started using drones , when they were suppose to strike the leader of Alqaeda in Syria, but due to some error and delay, the man changed location and for them not to kill innocent people , another drone was sent to immediately neutralize the first and it worked, that was the first time the US used drone to strike and the remains of the drones was taken to the lab in Syria....targeting an individual in a crowd is more difficult than what happened to Tehran missile strike , they have every time and opportunity to confirm from the Tehran Int. airport before striking, the plane took off from Tehran it wasn't coming into Iran, it was going out, very easy for them to confirm the movement , that's why the Iranian prime minister called it an unforgivable, it was a silly mistake out of fear ....there was a plane enroute Ghana that got lost and was just flying across the presidential villa in Abuja after running round Lagos, and the security forces in the villa with our local tech, controls the Abuja airport to confirm in 10mins if there was any missing plane, it was fast that the Lagos intl. control room had already informed Abuja and that was what save that plane from being brought down...but later crashed in ghana as we heard on news... I don't know the error in iran's case but I believe they could have done better , its saddened me alots, so painful, even the Iran lost many citizens to their callous act, followed by canada... So painful.

Was that the first time a passenger has been shot down?
The action was dine in error and was highly regretted and the US promptly took all responsibilities.
But Iran vehemently denied this , they only came out when they noticed they've been caught pants down.

What you're saying is that since the US had committed the error, Iran should do same too even with the array of technology available to avoid it.
That certainly made sense, but only to you
What r u saying? Do u understand English at all.. US purposely killed someone in an airstrike that also killed 60 innocent ppl.. Its like u don't know what an airstrike is.. comment on posts u av knowledge abt..

Bro, that's what you all are getting wrong. Trump is feeding you all with wrong information. Obama did not give Iran any money, the money rightly belongs to Iran. Iran paid the US over $400m USD in the 1970's for arm purchase and the US did not supply the arms neither did they refund their money. As part of the deal the world and Obama gave Iran, they refunded the money with interest, that was why the US under Obama flew the money in cash in a cargo plane to Iran. That deal that was signed then ensured there was peace in the world, every one enjoyed the relative peace then and Iran halted it's nuclear weapon only for trump to pull the US out of the deal for no reason. Even the international monitors confirmed then that Iran was abiding with its own side of the deal but only for trump to still went ahead and pulled the US out of the deal, that is the major cause of the heightened tension in that region.
